SQL Client
The SQL client built for modern developers
Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Amazon Redshift with one native SQL client. RowDex combines SQL querying with Redis and MongoDB — everything your full-stack app needs in one window.
SQL Features in RowDex
Multi-database SQL editor
Write SQL with syntax highlighting and autocomplete for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. Execute queries, view results in a sortable grid, and export to CSV or JSON.
Schema browser
Browse tables, views, indexes, and constraints across all your SQL databases. See column types, foreign keys, and relationships at a glance.
Saved queries & history
Save frequently-used queries with names and descriptions. Full query history lets you recall and re-run past statements across sessions.
Connection management
Store multiple database connections with OS keychain credential storage. Label environments (dev, staging, prod) and switch instantly.
SSH tunneling & SSL
Connect securely through SSH tunnels or SSL/TLS to access databases behind firewalls and VPNs.
Production safety
Enable read-only mode for production databases. RowDex warns before running UPDATE, DELETE, or DROP statements.
Connection Options
- PostgreSQL (local, Docker, RDS, Heroku, Supabase)
- MySQL & MariaDB (local, RDS, PlanetScale, DigitalOcean)
- SQLite (local file databases)
- Amazon Redshift (via PostgreSQL protocol)

Why Not Just Use Other SQL Tools?

DBeaver is Java-based (118 MB installer, typically 400–700 MB idle). RowDex is a native Tauri app under 50MB.
DataGrip
DataGrip requires a paid subscription. RowDex Basic is free forever for all SQL databases.
TablePlus
TablePlus has a limited free tier. RowDex Basic is free forever with full SQL support.
Terminal CLIs
psql, mysql, and sqlite3 lack visual schema browsing and saved queries. RowDex provides GUI convenience with keyboard shortcuts.
